'a specification.

My invention relates yto improvements in 'lantern globes, and the object of my invention is to devise a globe in which provision Vis made for undue expansion under heat so that it is not so readily breakable as the globes in use at the present time.

I attain this object by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which f Figure l is anelevation of my globe. I

Fig. 2 is a plan view. Similar figures of reference indlcate srm1- lar parts throughout the views. Y

rlhe globe is formed of theV usualrshape but instead 'of beingin one piece'it is divided on two sides, .as indicatedy at 2, so that the globe is formed Vof two half'sections 3 anda, and the divided endsVV overlap, as shown at 5 in Fig. 2, a slight space being provided, however, at the ends of the laps AARON MILBURN.

to allow for their expansion. The upper" ends of the globe are threaded, as at 6, so that the sections 3 and t may be .heldI securely togetheixby thinmetallic rings 7 and 8 threaded on to the respective threads 6,

as shown.' v i The 'advantage of the construction will be. apparent as it will be obvious that the glass is iiree to expand at the `laps 5V vunder undue heat, the rings 7 and 8y also expanding sutli-Y eiently to permit such expansion of the glass, and thus the frequent breakage of such globes Vdue to their inability toA expand-isv prevented.VV s f y From the foregoing it will be seen that I vhave provided a'lanternglobe which is not readily breakable asv those in present use. TWhat I claim as my invention is` A lantern globe comprising a pair of separably connected overlapping sections, the upper and'lower ends of said globeA being threaded, and threadedrings eXpansible un-` der heat adapted for engagement' with the Y* a purpose
